str(object='') -> str str(bytes_or_buffer[, encoding[, errors]]) -> str

Create a new string object from the given object. If encoding or errors is specified, then the object must expose a data buffer that will be decoded using the given encoding and error handler. Otherwise, returns the result of object.str() (if defined) or repr(object). encoding defaults to sys.getdefaultencoding(). errors defaults to 'strict'.

This class represents a ground truth instance such as an animal.

An Instance has a set of landmarks (points) that correspond to a Skeleton. Each point is associated with a Node in the skeleton. The points are stored in a structured numpy array with columns for x, y, visible, complete and name.

The Instance may also be associated with a Track which links multiple instances together across frames or videos.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
`points`		A numpy structured array with columns for xy, visible and complete. The array should have shape `(n_nodes,)`. This representation is useful for performance efficiency when working with large datasets.
`skeleton`		The `Skeleton` that describes the `Node`s and `Edge`s associated with this instance.
`track`		An optional `Track` associated with a unique animal/object across frames or videos.
`tracking_score`		The score associated with the `Track` assignment. This is typically the value from the score matrix used in an identity assignment. This is `None` if the instance is not associated with a track or if the track was assigned manually.
`from_predicted`		The `PredictedInstance` (if any) that this instance was initialized from. This is used with human-in-the-loop workflows.

Methods:

Create a new string object from the given object. If encoding or errors is specified, then the object must expose a data buffer that will be decoded using the given encoding and error handler. Otherwise, returns the result of object.str() (if defined) or repr(object). encoding defaults to sys.getdefaultencoding(). errors defaults to 'strict'.

`__match_args__ = ('points', 'skeleton', 'track', 'tracking_score', 'from_predicted')` `class-attribute` ¶

Built-in immutable sequence.

If no argument is given, the constructor returns an empty tuple. If iterable is specified the tuple is initialized from iterable's items.

If the argument is a tuple, the return value is the same object.

`setattr(name, val)` ¶

Method generated by attrs for class LabeledFrame.

`matches(other, video_must_match=True)` ¶

Check if this frame matches another frame's identity.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`other`	`LabeledFrame`	Another LabeledFrame to compare with.	required
`video_must_match`	`bool`	If True, frames must be from the same video. If False, only frame index needs to match.	`True`

Returns:

Type	Description
`bool`	True if the frames have the same identity, False otherwise.

Notes

Frame identity is determined by video and frame index. This does not compare the instances within the frame.

                - instances: One instance per row

            include_video: Whether to include video information.
            instance_id: How to name instance columns ("index" or "track").

str(object='') -> str str(bytes_or_buffer[, encoding[, errors]]) -> str

Create a new string object from the given object. If encoding or errors is specified, then the object must expose a data buffer that will be decoded using the given encoding and error handler. Otherwise, returns the result of object.str() (if defined) or repr(object). encoding defaults to sys.getdefaultencoding(). errors defaults to 'strict'.

`add_video(video)` ¶

Add a video to the labels, preventing duplicates.

This method provides safe video addition by checking if a video with the same file identity already exists. Unlike direct list append, this prevents duplicate videos even when different Video objects point to the same underlying file.

Parameters:

Returns:

Type	Description
`Video`	The video that should be used. If a duplicate was detected, returns the existing video; otherwise returns the input video.

Notes

This method uses is_same_file() for duplicate detection, which: - Considers source_video for embedded videos (PKG.SLP) - Uses strict path comparison (same basename in different dirs != same) - Handles ImageVideo lists correctly

Use this instead of labels.videos.append(video) to prevent duplicates.

`copy(*, open_videos=None)` ¶

Create a deep copy of the Labels object.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`open_videos`	`Optional[bool]`	Controls video backend auto-opening in the copy: `None` (default): Preserve each video's current setting. `True`: Enable auto-opening for all videos. `False`: Disable auto-opening and close any open backends.	`None`

Returns:

Type	Description
`Labels`	A new Labels object with deep copied data. If lazy, the copy is also lazy with independent array copies.

Notes

Video backends are not copied (file handles cannot be duplicated). The open_videos parameter controls whether backends will auto-open when frames are accessed.

See also: Labels.extract, Labels.remove_predictions

Examples:

>>> labels_copy = labels.copy()  # Preserves original settings

>>> # Prevent auto-opening to avoid file handles
>>> labels_copy = labels.copy(open_videos=False)

>>> # Copy and filter predictions separately
>>> labels_copy = labels.copy()

`from_numpy(tracks_arr, videos, skeletons=None, tracks=None, first_frame=0, return_confidence=False)` `classmethod` ¶

Create a new Labels object from a numpy array of tracks.

This factory method creates a new Labels object with instances constructed from the provided numpy array. It is the inverse operation of Labels.numpy().

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`tracks_arr`	`ndarray`	A numpy array of tracks, with shape `(n_frames, n_tracks, n_nodes, 2)` or `(n_frames, n_tracks, n_nodes, 3)`, where the last dimension contains the x,y coordinates (and optionally confidence scores).	required

`make_training_splits(n_train, n_val=None, n_test=None, save_dir=None, seed=None, embed=True)` ¶

Make splits for training with embedded images.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`n_train`	`int \| float`	Size of the training split as integer or fraction.	required
`n_val`	`int \| float \| None`	Size of the validation split as integer or fraction. If `None`, this will be inferred based on the values of `n_train` and `n_test`. If `n_test` is `None`, this will be the remainder of the data after the training split.	`None`
`n_test`	`int \| float \| None`	Size of the testing split as integer or fraction. If `None`, the test split will not be saved.	`None`
`save_dir`	`str \| Path \| None`	If specified, save splits to SLP files with embedded images.	`None`
`seed`	`int \| None`	Optional integer seed to use for reproducibility.	`None`
`embed`	`bool`	If `True` (the default), embed user labeled frame images in the saved files, which is useful for portability but can be slow for large projects. If `False`, labels are saved with references to the source videos files.	`True`

Returns:

Type	Description
`LabelsSet`	A `LabelsSet` containing "train", "val", and optionally "test" keys. The `LabelsSet` can be unpacked for backward compatibility: `train, val = labels.make_training_splits(0.8)` `train, val, test = labels.make_training_splits(0.8, n_test=0.1)`

Notes

Predictions and suggestions will be removed before saving, leaving only frames with user labeled data (the source labels are not affected).

Frames with user labeled data will be embedded in the resulting files.

If save_dir is specified, this will save the randomly sampled splits to:

{save_dir}/train.pkg.slp
{save_dir}/val.pkg.slp
{save_dir}/test.pkg.slp (if n_test is specified)

If embed is False, the files will be saved without embedded images to:

{save_dir}/train.slp
{save_dir}/val.slp
{save_dir}/test.slp (if n_test is specified)

`materialize()` ¶

Create a fully materialized (non-lazy) copy.

If already non-lazy, returns self unchanged.

This converts a lazy-loaded Labels into a regular Labels with all LabeledFrame and Instance objects created. Use this when you need to modify the Labels.

Returns:

Type	Description
`Labels`	A new Labels with all frames/instances as Python objects and deep-copied metadata (videos, skeletons, tracks). The returned Labels is fully independent from the original lazy Labels.

This method modifies the Labels object in place. The merge is designed to handle common workflows like merging predictions back into a project.

Provenance tracking: Each merge operation appends a record to self.provenance["merge_history"] containing:

timestamp: ISO format timestamp of the merge
source_filename: Path from source's provenance (None if in-memory)
target_filename: Path from target's provenance (None if in-memory)
source_labels: Statistics about the source Labels
strategy: The frame strategy used

    Returns:
        MergeResult object with statistics and any errors/conflicts.

    Raises:
        RuntimeError: If Labels is lazy-loaded.

    Notes:
        This method modifies the Labels object in place. The merge is designed to
        handle common workflows like merging predictions back into a project.

        Provenance tracking: Each merge operation appends a record to
        ``self.provenance["merge_history"]`` containing:

        - ``timestamp``: ISO format timestamp of the merge
        - ``source_filename``: Path from source's provenance (``None`` if in-memory)
        - ``target_filename``: Path from target's provenance (``None`` if in-memory)
        - ``source_labels``: Statistics about the source Labels
        - ``strategy``: The frame strategy used
        - ``sleap_io_version``: Version of sleap-io that performed the merge
        - ``result``: Merge statistics (frames_merged, instances_added, conflicts)

`numpy(video=None, untracked=False, return_confidence=False, user_instances=True)` ¶

Construct a numpy array from instance points.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`video`	`Optional[Union[Video, int]]`	Video or video index to convert to numpy arrays. If `None` (the default), uses the first video.	`None`
`untracked`	`bool`	If `False` (the default), include only instances that have a track assignment. If `True`, includes all instances in each frame in arbitrary order.	`False`
`return_confidence`	`bool`	If `False` (the default), only return points of nodes. If `True`, return the points and scores of nodes.	`False`
`user_instances`	`bool`	If `True` (the default), include user instances when available, preferring them over predicted instances with the same track. If `False`, only include predicted instances.	`True`

Returns:

Type Description

ndarray

An array of tracks of shape (n_frames, n_tracks, n_nodes, 2) if return_confidence is False. Otherwise returned shape is (n_frames, n_tracks, n_nodes, 3) if return_confidence is True.

Missing data will be replaced with np.nan.

If this is a single instance project, a track does not need to be assigned.

When user_instances=False, only predicted instances will be returned. When user_instances=True, user instances will be preferred over predicted instances with the same track or if linked via from_predicted.

Notes

This method assumes that instances have tracks assigned and is intended to function primarily for single-video prediction results.

When lazy-loaded, uses an optimized path that avoids creating Python objects. This method now delegates to sleap_io.codecs.numpy.to_numpy(). See that function for implementation details.

`skeleton`	`Skeleton \| None`	`Skeleton` to update. If `None` (the default), assumes there is only one skeleton in the labels and raises `ValueError` otherwise.	`None`

Raises:

Type	Description
`ValueError`	If the nodes are not found in the skeleton, or if there is more than one skeleton in the labels and it is not specified.

Notes

This method should always be used when removing nodes from the skeleton as it handles updating the lookup caches necessary for indexing nodes by name, and updating instances to reflect the changes made to the skeleton.

Any edges and symmetries that are connected to the removed nodes will also be removed.

`remove_predictions(clean=True)` ¶

Remove all predicted instances from the labels.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`clean`	`bool`	If `True` (the default), also remove any empty frames and unused tracks and skeletons. It does NOT remove videos that have no labeled frames or instances with no visible points.	`True`

Raises:

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`filename`	`str`	Path to save labels to.	required
`format`	`Optional[str]`	The format to save the labels in. If `None`, the format will be inferred from the file extension. Available formats are `"slp"`, `"nwb"`, `"labelstudio"`, and `"jabs"`.	`None`

One of `None`, `True`, `"all"`, `"user"`, `"suggestions"`, `"user+suggestions"`, `"source"` or list of tuples of `(video, frame_idx)`. If `False` is specified (the default), the source video will be restored if available, otherwise the embedded frames will be re-saved. If `True` or `"all"`, all labeled frames and suggested frames will be embedded. If `"source"` is specified, no images will be embedded and the source video will be restored if available. This argument is only valid for the SLP backend.	`False`
`restore_original_videos`	`bool`	If `True` (default) and `embed=False`, use original video files. If `False` and `embed=False`, keep references to source `.pkg.slp` files. Only applies when `embed=False`.	`True`
`embed_inplace`	`bool`	If `False` (default), a copy of the labels is made before embedding to avoid modifying the in-memory labels. If `True`, the labels will be modified in-place to point to the embedded videos, which is faster but mutates the input. Only applies when embedding.	`False`
`verbose`	`bool`	If `True` (the default), display a progress bar when embedding frames.	`True`

`split(n, seed=None)` ¶

Separate the labels into random splits.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`n`	`int \| float`	Size of the first split. If integer >= 1, assumes that this is the number of labeled frames in the first split. If < 1.0, this will be treated as a fraction of the total labeled frames.	required
`seed`	`int \| None`	Optional integer seed to use for reproducibility.	`None`

Returns:

Type Description

A LabelsSet with keys "split1" and "split2".

If an integer was specified, len(split1) == n.

If a fraction was specified, len(split1) == int(n * len(labels)).

The second split contains the remainder, i.e., len(split2) == len(labels) - len(split1).

If there are too few frames, a minimum of 1 frame will be kept in the second split.

If there is exactly 1 labeled frame in the labels, the same frame will be assigned to both splits.

Notes

This method now returns a LabelsSet for easier management of splits. For backward compatibility, the returned LabelsSet can be unpacked like a tuple: split1, split2 = labels.split(0.8)

            a fraction of the total labeled frames.
        seed: Optional integer seed to use for reproducibility.

    Returns:
        A LabelsSet with keys "split1" and "split2".

        If an integer was specified, `len(split1) == n`.

        If a fraction was specified, `len(split1) == int(n * len(labels))`.

        The second split contains the remainder, i.e.,
        `len(split2) == len(labels) - len(split1)`.

        If there are too few frames, a minimum of 1 frame will be kept in the second
        split.

        If there is exactly 1 labeled frame in the labels, the same frame will be
        assigned to both splits.

`update_from_numpy(tracks_arr, video=None, tracks=None, create_missing=True)` ¶

Update instances from a numpy array of tracks.

This function updates the points in existing instances, and creates new instances for tracks that don't have a corresponding instance in a frame.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`tracks_arr`	`ndarray`	A numpy array of tracks, with shape `(n_frames, n_tracks, n_nodes, 2)` or `(n_frames, n_tracks, n_nodes, 3)`, where the last dimension contains the x,y coordinates (and optionally confidence scores).	required
`video`	`Optional[Union[Video, int]]`	The video to update instances for. If not specified, the first video in the labels will be used if there is only one video.	`None`
`tracks`	`Optional[list[Track]]`	List of `Track` objects corresponding to the second dimension of the array. If not specified, `self.tracks` will be used, and must have the same length as the second dimension of the array.	`None`
`create_missing`	`bool`	If `True` (the default), creates new `PredictedInstance`s for tracks that don't have corresponding instances in a frame. If `False`, only updates existing instances.	`True`

Raises:

Type	Description

`LabelsSet` ¶

Container for multiple Labels objects with dictionary and tuple-like interface.

This class provides a way to manage collections of Labels objects, such as train/val/test splits. It supports both dictionary-style access by name and tuple-style unpacking for backward compatibility.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
`labels`		Dictionary mapping names to Labels objects.

Examples:

Create from existing Labels objects:

>>> labels_set = LabelsSet({"train": train_labels, "val": val_labels})

Access like a dictionary:

>>> train = labels_set["train"]
>>> for name, labels in labels_set.items():
...     print(f"{name}: {len(labels)} frames")

Unpack like a tuple:

>>> train, val = labels_set  # Order preserved from insertion

Add new Labels:

>>> labels_set["test"] = test_labels

Methods:

Name	Description
`__contains__`	Check if a named Labels object exists.
`__delitem__`	Remove a Labels object by name.
`__eq__`	Method generated by attrs for class LabelsSet.
`__getitem__`	Get Labels by name (string) or index (int) for tuple-like access.
`__init__`	Method generated by attrs for class LabelsSet.
`__iter__`	Iterate over Labels objects (not keys) for tuple-like unpacking.
`__len__`	Return the number of Labels objects.
`__repr__`	Return a string representation of the LabelsSet.
`__setitem__`	Set a Labels object with a given name.
`from_labels_lists`	Create a LabelsSet from a list of Labels objects.
`get`	Get a Labels object by name with optional default.
`items`	Return a view of (name, Labels) pairs.
`keys`	Return a view of the Labels names.
`save`	Save all Labels objects to a directory.
`values`	Return a view of the Labels objects.

`__attrs_own_setattr__ = False` `class-attribute` ¶

bool(x) -> bool

Returns True when the argument x is true, False otherwise. The builtins True and False are the only two instances of the class bool. The class bool is a subclass of the class int, and cannot be subclassed.

`__attrs_props__ = ClassProps(is_exception=False, is_slotted=True, has_weakref_slot=True, is_frozen=False, kw_only=<KeywordOnly.NO: 'no'>, collected_fields_by_mro=True, added_init=True, added_repr=False, added_eq=True, added_ordering=False, hashability=<Hashability.UNHASHABLE: 'unhashable'>, added_match_args=True, added_str=False, added_pickling=True, on_setattr_hook=<function pipe.<locals>.wrapped_pipe at 0x7fec2973e0c0>, field_transformer=None)` `class-attribute` ¶

Effective class properties as derived from parameters to attr.s() or define() decorators.

This is the same data structure that attrs uses internally to decide how to construct the final class.

Warning:

This feature is currently **experimental** and is not covered by our
strict backwards-compatibility guarantees.

Attributes:

`is_frozen`	`bool`	Whether the class is frozen.
`kw_only`	`KeywordOnly`	Whether / how the class enforces keyword-only arguments on the `__init__` method.
`collected_fields_by_mro`	`bool`	Whether the class fields were collected by method resolution order. That is, correctly but unlike `dataclasses`.
`added_init`	`bool`	Whether the class has an attrs-generated `__init__` method.
`added_repr`	`bool`	Whether the class has an attrs-generated `__repr__` method.
`added_eq`	`bool`	Whether the class has attrs-generated equality methods.
`added_ordering`	`bool`	Whether the class has attrs-generated ordering methods.
`hashability`	`Hashability`	How `hashable <hashing>` the class is.

str(object='') -> str str(bytes_or_buffer[, encoding[, errors]]) -> str

Create a new string object from the given object. If encoding or errors is specified, then the object must expose a data buffer that will be decoded using the given encoding and error handler. Otherwise, returns the result of object.str() (if defined) or repr(object). encoding defaults to sys.getdefaultencoding(). errors defaults to 'strict'.

`__match_args__ = ('labels',)` `class-attribute` ¶

Built-in immutable sequence.

If no argument is given, the constructor returns an empty tuple. If iterable is specified the tuple is initialized from iterable's items.

If the argument is a tuple, the return value is the same object.

`edges`		A list of `Edge`s. May be specified as a list of 2-tuples of string names or integer indices of `nodes`. Each edge corresponds to a pair of source and destination nodes forming a directed edge.
`symmetries`		A list of `Symmetry`s. Each symmetry corresponds to symmetric body parts, such as `"left eye", "right eye"`. This is used when applying flip (reflection) augmentation to images in order to appropriately swap the indices of symmetric landmarks.
`name`		A descriptive name for the `Skeleton`.

`Video` ¶

Video class used by sleap to represent videos and data associated with them.

This class is used to store information regarding a video and its components. It is used to store the video's filename, shape, and the video's backend.

To create a Video object, use the from_filename method which will select the backend appropriately.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
`filename`		The filename(s) of the video. Supported extensions: "mp4", "avi", "mov", "mj2", "mkv", "h5", "hdf5", "slp", "png", "jpg", "jpeg", "tif", "tiff", "bmp". If the filename is a list, a list of image filenames are expected. If filename is a folder, it will be searched for images.
`backend`		An object that implements the basic methods for reading and manipulating frames of a specific video type.
`backend_metadata`		A dictionary of metadata specific to the backend. This is useful for storing metadata that requires an open backend (e.g., shape information) without having access to the video file itself.
`source_video`		The source video object if this is a proxy video. This is present when the video contains an embedded subset of frames from another video.
`open_backend`		Whether to open the backend when the video is available. If `True` (the default), the backend will be automatically opened if the video exists. Set this to `False` when you want to manually open the backend, or when the you know the video file does not exist and you want to avoid trying to open the file.

Notes

Instances of this class are hashed by identity, not by value. This means that two Video instances with the same attributes will NOT be considered equal in a set or dict.

Media Video Plugin Support

For media files (mp4, avi, etc.), the following plugins are supported: - "opencv": Uses OpenCV (cv2) for video reading - "FFMPEG": Uses imageio-ffmpeg for video reading - "pyav": Uses PyAV for video reading

Plugin aliases (case-insensitive): - opencv: "opencv", "cv", "cv2", "ocv" - FFMPEG: "FFMPEG", "ffmpeg", "imageio-ffmpeg", "imageio_ffmpeg" - pyav: "pyav", "av"

Plugin selection priority: 1. Explicitly specified plugin parameter 2. Backend metadata plugin value 3. Global default (set via sio.set_default_video_plugin) 4. Auto-detection based on available packages

class Video:
    """`Video` class used by sleap to represent videos and data associated with them.

    This class is used to store information regarding a video and its components.
    It is used to store the video's `filename`, `shape`, and the video's `backend`.

    To create a `Video` object, use the `from_filename` method which will select the
    backend appropriately.

    Attributes:
        filename: The filename(s) of the video. Supported extensions: "mp4", "avi",
            "mov", "mj2", "mkv", "h5", "hdf5", "slp", "png", "jpg", "jpeg", "tif",
            "tiff", "bmp". If the filename is a list, a list of image filenames are
            expected. If filename is a folder, it will be searched for images.
        backend: An object that implements the basic methods for reading and
            manipulating frames of a specific video type.
        backend_metadata: A dictionary of metadata specific to the backend. This is
            useful for storing metadata that requires an open backend (e.g., shape
            information) without having access to the video file itself.
        source_video: The source video object if this is a proxy video. This is present
            when the video contains an embedded subset of frames from another video.
        open_backend: Whether to open the backend when the video is available. If `True`
            (the default), the backend will be automatically opened if the video exists.
            Set this to `False` when you want to manually open the backend, or when the
            you know the video file does not exist and you want to avoid trying to open
            the file.

    Notes:
        Instances of this class are hashed by identity, not by value. This means that
        two `Video` instances with the same attributes will NOT be considered equal in a
        set or dict.

doc = '`Video` class used by sleap to represent videos and data associated with them.\n\n This class is used to store information regarding a video and its components.\n It is used to store the video\'s `filename`, `shape`, and the video\'s `backend`.\n\n To create a `Video` object, use the `from_filename` method which will select the\n backend appropriately.\n\n Attributes:\n filename: The filename(s) of the video. Supported extensions: "mp4", "avi",\n "mov", "mj2", "mkv", "h5", "hdf5", "slp", "png", "jpg", "jpeg", "tif",\n "tiff", "bmp". If the filename is a list, a list of image filenames are\n expected. If filename is a folder, it will be searched for images.\n backend: An object that implements the basic methods for reading and\n manipulating frames of a specific video type.\n backend_metadata: A dictionary of metadata specific to the backend. This is\n useful for storing metadata that requires an open backend (e.g., shape\n information) without having access to the video file itself.\n source_video: The source video object if this is a proxy video. This is present\n when the video contains an embedded subset of frames from another video.\n open_backend: Whether to open the backend when the video is available. If `True`\n (the default), the backend will be automatically opened if the video exists.\n Set this to `False` when you want to manually open the backend, or when the\n you know the video file does not exist and you want to avoid trying to open\n the file.\n\n Notes:\n Instances of this class are hashed by identity, not by value. This means that\n two `Video` instances with the same attributes will NOT be considered equal in a\n set or dict.\n\n Media Video Plugin Support:\n For media files (mp4, avi, etc.), the following plugins are supported:\n - "opencv": Uses OpenCV (cv2) for video reading\n - "FFMPEG": Uses imageio-ffmpeg for video reading\n - "pyav": Uses PyAV for video reading\n\n Plugin aliases (case-insensitive):\n - opencv: "opencv", "cv", "cv2", "ocv"\n - FFMPEG: "FFMPEG", "ffmpeg", "imageio-ffmpeg", "imageio_ffmpeg"\n - pyav: "pyav", "av"\n\n Plugin selection priority:\n 1. Explicitly specified plugin parameter\n 2. Backend metadata plugin value\n 3. Global default (set via sio.set_default_video_plugin)\n 4. Auto-detection based on available packages\n\n See Also:\n VideoBackend: The backend interface for reading video data.\n sleap_io.set_default_video_plugin: Set global default plugin.\n sleap_io.get_default_video_plugin: Get current default plugin.\n ' `class-attribute` ¶

str(object='') -> str str(bytes_or_buffer[, encoding[, errors]]) -> str

Create a new string object from the given object. If encoding or errors is specified, then the object must expose a data buffer that will be decoded using the given encoding and error handler. Otherwise, returns the result of object.str() (if defined) or repr(object). encoding defaults to sys.getdefaultencoding(). errors defaults to 'strict'.

`__match_args__ = ('filename', 'backend', 'backend_metadata', 'source_video', 'open_backend')` `class-attribute` ¶

`slots = ('filename', 'backend', 'backend_metadata', 'source_video', 'open_backend', 'weakref')` `class-attribute` ¶

Built-in immutable sequence.

If no argument is given, the constructor returns an empty tuple. If iterable is specified the tuple is initialized from iterable's items.

If the argument is a tuple, the return value is the same object.

`weakref` `property` ¶

list of weak references to the object

`fps` `property` ¶

Return the frames per second of the video.

For MediaVideo backends, this reads FPS from the video container metadata. For other backends (ImageVideo, HDF5Video, TiffVideo), this returns the explicitly set value or None if not set.

Returns:

Type	Description
	The FPS if known, or None if unavailable/unknown.

`grayscale` `property` ¶

Return whether the video is grayscale.

If the video backend is not set or it cannot determine whether the video is grayscale, this will return None.

`is_open` `property` ¶

Check if the video backend is open.

`original_video` `property` ¶

The root video in the provenance chain.

For embedded videos, this returns the ultimate source video by traversing the source_video chain. Returns None if this video has no source_video (i.e., it IS an original).

This property is computed by following the source_video chain to find the root. For a single-level embedding (A embeds from B), original_video returns B. For multi-level embedding (A <- B <- C), it returns C.

`shape` `property` ¶

Return the shape of the video as (num_frames, height, width, channels).

If the video backend is not set or it cannot determine the shape of the video, this will return None.

`__attrs_post_init__()` ¶

`open(filename=None, dataset=None, grayscale=None, keep_open=True, plugin=None)` ¶

Open the video backend for reading.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`filename`	`Optional[str]`	Filename to open. If not specified, will use the filename set on the video object.	`None`
`dataset`	`Optional[str]`	Name of dataset in HDF5 file.	`None`
`grayscale`	`Optional[str]`	Whether to force grayscale. If None, autodetect on first frame load.	`None`
`keep_open`	`bool`	Whether to keep the video reader open between calls to read frames. If False, will close the reader after each call. If True (the default), it will keep the reader open and cache it for subsequent calls which may enhance the performance of reading multiple frames.	`True`
`plugin`	`Optional[str]`	Video plugin to use for MediaVideo files. One of "opencv", "FFMPEG", or "pyav". Also accepts aliases (case-insensitive). If not specified, uses the backend metadata, global default, or auto-detection in that order.	`None`

Notes

This is useful for opening the video backend to read frames and then closing it after reading all the necessary frames.

If the backend was already open, it will be closed before opening a new one. Values for the HDF5 dataset and grayscale will be remembered if not specified.

`VideoBackend` ¶

Base class for video backends.

This class is not meant to be used directly. Instead, use the from_filename constructor to create a backend instance.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
`filename`		Path to video file(s).
`grayscale`		Whether to force grayscale. If None, autodetect on first frame load.
`keep_open`		Whether to keep the video reader open between calls to read frames. If False, will close the reader after each call. If True (the default), it will keep the reader open and cache it for subsequent calls which may enhance the performance of reading multiple frames.
`fps`		Frames per second of the video. For MediaVideo, this is read from container metadata. For other backends (ImageVideo, HDF5Video, TiffVideo), this must be set explicitly or will be None.

Methods:

Name	Description
`__eq__`	Method generated by attrs for class VideoBackend.
`__getitem__`	Return a single frame or a list of frames from the video.
`__init__`	Method generated by attrs for class VideoBackend.
`__len__`	Return number of frames in the video.
`__repr__`	Method generated by attrs for class VideoBackend.
`detect_grayscale`	Detect whether the video is grayscale.
`from_filename`	Create a VideoBackend from a filename.
`get_frame`	Read a single frame from the video.
`get_frames`	Read a list of frames from the video.
`has_frame`	Check if a frame index is contained in the video.
`read_test_frame`	Read a single frame from the video to test for grayscale.

str(object='') -> str str(bytes_or_buffer[, encoding[, errors]]) -> str

Create a new string object from the given object. If encoding or errors is specified, then the object must expose a data buffer that will be decoded using the given encoding and error handler. Otherwise, returns the result of object.str() (if defined) or repr(object). encoding defaults to sys.getdefaultencoding(). errors defaults to 'strict'.

`__match_args__ = ('filename', 'grayscale', 'keep_open', '_cached_shape', '_open_reader', '_fps')` `class-attribute` ¶

Built-in immutable sequence.

If no argument is given, the constructor returns an empty tuple. If iterable is specified the tuple is initialized from iterable's items.

If the argument is a tuple, the return value is the same object.

`module = 'sleap_io.io.video_reading'` `class-attribute` ¶

str(object='') -> str str(bytes_or_buffer[, encoding[, errors]]) -> str

Create a new string object from the given object. If encoding or errors is specified, then the object must expose a data buffer that will be decoded using the given encoding and error handler. Otherwise, returns the result of object.str() (if defined) or repr(object). encoding defaults to sys.getdefaultencoding(). errors defaults to 'strict'.

`slots = ('filename', 'grayscale', 'keep_open', '_cached_shape', '_open_reader', '_fps', 'weakref')` `class-attribute` ¶

Built-in immutable sequence.

If no argument is given, the constructor returns an empty tuple. If iterable is specified the tuple is initialized from iterable's items.

If the argument is a tuple, the return value is the same object.

`weakref` `property` ¶

list of weak references to the object

`fps` `property` ¶

Frames per second of the video.

Returns:

Type	Description
	The FPS if known, or None if unavailable/unknown.

Notes

For MediaVideo, this is read from container metadata. For ImageVideo, HDF5Video, and TiffVideo, this must be set explicitly or inherited from source_video.

`frames` `property` ¶

Number of frames in the video.

`img_shape` `property` ¶

Shape of a single frame in the video.

`num_frames` `property` ¶

Number of frames in the video. Must be implemented in subclasses.

`shape` `property` ¶

Shape of the video as a tuple of (frames, height, width, channels).

On first call, this will defer to num_frames and img_shape to determine the full shape. This call may be expensive for some subclasses, so the result is cached and returned on subsequent calls.

Returns:

Type	Description
`ndarray`	Frame as a numpy array of shape `(height, width, channels)` where the `channels` dimension is 1 for grayscale videos and 3 for color videos.

If the grayscale attribute is set to None, the grayscale attribute will be automatically set based on the first frame read.

`get_frames(frame_inds)` ¶

Read a list of frames from the video.

Depending on the backend implementation, this may be faster than reading frames individually using get_frame.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`frame_inds`	`list[int]`	List of frame indices to read.	required

Returns:

Type	Description
`ndarray`	Frames as a numpy array of shape `(frames, height, width, channels)` where `channels` dimension is 1 for grayscale videos and 3 for color videos.

`pixelformat`		Pixel format for video. Defaults to "yuv420p".
`codec`		Codec to use for encoding. Defaults to "libx264".
`crf`		Constant rate factor to control lossiness of video. Values go from 2 to 32, with numbers in the 18 to 30 range being most common. Lower values mean less compressed/higher quality. Defaults to 25. No effect if codec is not "libx264".
`preset`		H264 encoding preset. Defaults to "superfast". No effect if codec is not "libx264".
`output_params`		Additional output parameters for FFMPEG. This should be a list of strings corresponding to command line arguments for FFMPEG and libx264. Use `ffmpeg -h encoder=libx264` to see all options for libx264 output_params.

Notes

This class can be used as a context manager to ensure the video is properly closed after writing. For example:

with VideoWriter("output.mp4") as writer:
    for frame in frames:

`filename`	`str`	Path to save labels to ending with `.slp`.	required
`embed`	`bool \| str \| list[tuple[Video, int]] \| None`	Frames to embed in the saved labels file. One of `None`, `True`, `"all"`, `"user"`, `"suggestions"`, `"user+suggestions"`, `"source"` or list of tuples of `(video, frame_idx)`. If `False` is specified (the default), the source video will be restored if available, otherwise the embedded frames will be re-saved. If `True` or `"all"`, all labeled frames and suggested frames will be embedded. If `"source"` is specified, no images will be embedded and the source video will be restored if available. This argument is only valid for the SLP backend.	`False`
`restore_original_videos`	`bool`	If `True` (default) and `embed=False`, use original video files. If `False` and `embed=False`, keep references to source `.pkg.slp` files. Only applies when `embed=False`.	`True`
`embed_inplace`	`bool`	If `False` (default), a copy of the labels is made before embedding to avoid modifying the in-memory labels. If `True`, the labels will be modified in-place to point to the embedded videos, which is faster but mutates the input. Only applies when embedding.	`False`
`verbose`	`bool`	If `True` (the default), display a progress bar when embedding frames.	`True`
`plugin`	`Optional[str]`	Image plugin to use for encoding embedded frames. One of "opencv" or "imageio". If None, uses the global default from `get_default_image_plugin()`. If no global default is set, auto-detects based on available packages (opencv preferred, then imageio).	`None`
`progress_callback`	`Callable[[int, int], bool] \| None`	Optional callback function called during frame embedding with `(current, total)` arguments.
